[English]

Breathe your smoke into my lungs

In the back of a car with you, I stare into the sun

Still not too old to die young

But lovers hold on to everything

And lovers hold on to anything

I chase your love around a figure 8

I need you more than I can take

You promise forever and a day

And then you take it all away

And then you take it all away

Way, way, way, way

Place a kiss on my cheekbone

When you vanish me, I'm buried in the snow

But something tells me I'm not alone

But lovers hold on to everything

And lovers hold on to anything

...

I chase your love around a figure 8

I need you more than I can take

You promise forever and a day

And then you take it all away

And when you take it all away

Way, way, way, way

...

So lovers hold on to everything

And lovers hold on to anything

So lovers hold on to everything

And lovers hold on to anything

I chase your love around a figure 8

I need you more than I can take

You promise forever and a day

And then you take it all away

I chase your love around a figure 8

I need you more than I can take

You promise forever and a day

And then you take it all away

And then you take it all away
